    My point is only those in Adam's line are not the only ones affected by sin, what your statement implied. Sin didn't only affect "this planet". ALL Creation groans in anticipation...Angels included.

    I don't think I missed the point. The bible says "all" creation groans. Someday, the heavens and earth will burn up. If there were any aliens out there, they would be burned up as well. All because of sin.

    But.....we are the only aliens. Strangers in this world.

    If you read Genesis it never implies that God created "other" beings in outer space. And as other rightfully pointed out, "For the anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for the revealing of the sons of God." Romans 8:19. And when the Master of the Universe returns it's going to make Star Wars look like kindergarten!

    Isn't the bible God's revelation to us, here on earth? Reveling to us our history. Does the bible tell us for certain the God could not have created a separate distant group of solar systems and planets, and people?

    I am not saying I believe this to have happened, but is there scriptural proof that limits God from having ever done so?

    And why is that funny exactly? Is that not what the Bible says?

    If they exist, they might have their own Adam-type.

    Yes, but since we are the only ones made in God's image it would imply it is about God's creation as a whole.
    The Bible does allude to stars and planets...but the only people are right here on Earth. I don't think when He said "Let Us make man in Our image" He was saying throughout the galaxy but right where He did it...here on Earth.

    But my point was does scripture prove that in another time, in another place God couldn't have created others?

    Again I am not putting this forward as any type of theory, only questioning does the bible explicitly guarantee this could not have happened?
    I always views the bible as God's revelation of our world, our history, I never saw it as limiting God from things we don't know nor couldn't know.

    Well, Scripture starts with the beginning of creation, and breaks it down into days. Life started here on Earth.

    But that is our creation. If God had chosen to create another world entirely separate from ours, why do you assume he would tell us about it?

    I don't think he did do this, because there is nothing that indicates He did. However I don't see any restrictions to go further and insist He couldn't have done so.

    Do we have any reason to believe the creation account in Genesis is only OUR creation? I believe it is all inclusive by the context including the creation of stars, planets and life. It is more an argument from silence to state it only deals with our planet

    The Bible shows there are no space aliens, because any creature that could be considered man came from Eve.

    Gen 3:20 And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.

    This verse shows that Eve is the mother of all mankind.

    I didn't say it only dealt with earth. I said it was ours (us on earth) history. That includes the stars planets etc. Here is what I said earlier.

    If you believe in a pre/mid-trib rapture, I think the threat of Aliens and abductions is what will be sold to the world.
